Don't you feel that weight,
Of not having expectations,
But of people having them from you?
Does it not feel like
An added responsibility?
I know it's good to have it
It means people think you are able
But, just the thought of
Dissapointing them is enough
To make it seem like a precious burden
To make tumultuous thoughts rise
To make the outere serene face
Hide the noise of inside
Don't you feel so?
True and deep 😉

It can be soul crushing if your worth is tied to meeting other people’s expectations. It is difficult to shake off.

The more the expectations the more is the stress on both, the one expecting and the one who is expected.

I hate feeling this kind of pressure. They have all of these expectations that makes you question yourself if you’re doing enough just to meet what they expected from you.
